I can only imagine going from a 4c/4t CPU to a 8c/16t CPU with better IPC to boot. For me it would be twice the cores and quadruple the threads. spasticColon fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Apr 20, 2018 |

I'm still on a 2500K and I'm hoping that Zen 2 isn't a wet fart because I don't want to pay the Intel tax. I would wait for the next-gen consoles to be revealed before upgrading but it's probably a safe bet they will use 8-core Zen 2 based CPUs. Because of that I want to upgrade to a 8-core CPU because by then more games will probably take advantage of those cores because of Vulkan and DX12. I know you can't "future-proof" but you can upgrade with the future in mind.

Volguus posted:The recent security vulnerabilities found in CPUs owe their existence in part to hyperthreading. Disabling it by default is currently the accepted and recommended way forward.

So it's actually going to be 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 for the core counts then? That still puts the 8-core CPUs in the mid-range offerings doesn't it? A possible Ryzen 5 3600 with 8C/16T for ~$250 would still be pretty sweet.

Khorne posted:Probably not going to happen. DDR5 is coming, and so are massive improvements after zen2. Zen3 is supposed to be another zen2 tier jump, and intel's new stuff will probably be pretty good once it finally arrives in 2020/2021. The next few years are going to be chaos and nothing like 2011-2018. So even if I upgrade from my 2500k to a 8C/16T Zen2 CPU something much better is going to be right around the corner (1-2 years) anyway? Now I want CPU tech to stagnate again so my next build will last as long at my 2500k build has lasted. I don't want to build a 2700X or a 3700X rig this Fall and then have to upgrade again only 2-3 years later. Edit: but if my 2500k rig dies before then, gently caress it, I'll build a cheap 2600X system and upgrade again in 3 years. spasticColon fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Mar 9, 2019 |

BangersInMyKnickers posted:If you're still on a 2500k, try manually disabling the meltdown/spectre mitigations. Breathed life back in to my system, overhead on those old CPUs is nasty especially if you have an SSD. Something in the background starts throwing a lot of ops around and the added CPU overhead from the syscalls turns everything to a stuttering mess. I do have an SSD but I'm mostly concerned with gaming performance and I thought games weren't affected by the meltdown and spectre mitigations. It's only some newer games that are having performance issues but I simply chalked that up to my 2500k being 8 years old. If gaming is affected by the mitigations, is there a how-to guide on disabling them?

Gah, that pretty much convinced me to go ahead and build an AMD rig this spring, probably in April or May. Either that or play older games and indie titles until Zen 2 becomes widely available meaning no price-gouging. And somewhat newer games don't "stutter" on my rig, I just get lower fps and some input lag. Then again I'm not playing every single new AAA game on my system.

The Gunslinger posted:I was holding off from a 6600k upgrade until Zen 2 but after yet another issue with a current gen game I decided to just say gently caress it. Got a 2600x on the weekend and even if I only use it until end of the year, definitely worth it. I didn't realize the extent my CPU was bottlenecking my GPU (GeForce 1080) but all of my issues with stuttering and etc are gone now. Which current gen game was that?

The Gunslinger posted:Far Cry 5, AC: O, certain areas of Apex Legends, BF V, Division 2 and I'm sure others I haven't had time to test yet. I saw huge improvements in Far Cry 5 and BF V especially, no more stuttering or hitching. I was worried about it being a waste with Zen 2 in a few months but I decided I will just upgrade whenever I feel like it and toss the 2600x in my file server. I'm so glad I have no desire to play any of those games because I'm still on a 2500k and waiting for Zen 2. I do want to play Cyberpunk 2077 when it finally comes out but I'll have a new system by then.

Now I'm getting this feeling that the 8C/16T Zen 2 CPUs will probably start at ~$400 and who knows how much a decent X570 board will cost. A 2600X or 2700X build is looking more and more tempting.

So the PS5 is going to be like the PS3: powerful but also expensive (for a video game console) and AAA games will be more expensive to develop for it in order to take advantage of all that hardware horsepower. And last I read Microsoft was developing two next-gen consoles one for 1080p60 gaming (Scarlet) and one for 4K60 gaming with Ray Tracing support (Anaconda).
